There have been so many high profile hacks reported in the media over the last few years that nearly every organisation is acutely aware of the importance of IT security (Microsoft reported it takes 200 days on average for a company to detect a security breach and a further 80 days to contain it.) in fact, it’s vital to your everyday operations.
